credit where its due - thank you Sciggles

here is the story. From the top.
Okay so Ash Coyote is a YouTuber who has made some excellent videos - including the documentary The Fandom which i highly recommend.
She made a video about ABDL/Babyfurs, demystifying many misconceptions about us and presenting a very fair and honest picture of what we're all about.
This video was copyright struck by Catamara, who is a fursuit maker, pooltoy fan, and anti-babyfur crusader, attempting to position herself in the fandom as the LibsOfTiktok for babyfurs. she's doxxed the hotel for BFC and tried to gin up multiple harassment campaigns. she was probably behind at least some of the recent mass-reports that led to the 2.7 debacle around here in recent weeks. she's on some moralistic crusade to call us all pedophiles, and basically she's a fuckin asshole who needs to be reined in before someone gets hurt. The video uses a brief shot of her artwork, which was later blurred out, but catamara still copyright struck it and had the video taken down.
Ash went to a copyright lawyer, and will probably appeal the ruling and get the video back up, but that costs money, so she put up a gofundme with a $1000 target to raise money for it.
SCIGGLES PAID THE WHOLE THING.
the amount raised is now over $2k, last i checked, probably more. plenty of money to pay the lawyer.
I was skeptical about Sciggles really being on our side, but this. this is tangible, concrete action on her part that I will DEFINITELY approve of and give credit where its due. It goes a long way to showing she is serious about gaining back our trust. THANK YOU SCIGGLES.
And fuck you Catamara, take your temu chaiya raichik act somewhere outside our fandom

FA+

But anyway, while I think Sciggles message (and FA's response) to their past actions was generally good, it's still going to be their consistent long term actions that's going to (re)build up trust. But these actions definitely help contribute to that, at least to me they do
It's a great move by her as she continues to be open and honest and providing transparancy for a site that has gone decades without transparency.
So good on Sciggles. I have faith in her. My faith in FA is still shaky though.
As for Catamara... That bitch needs to leave. I hope she's banned from every furry con and event.
